It all began with a love for photographing cozy details, capturing the warmth and charm of inviting spaces. Over time, this passion grew into something more than a collection of images. My 17th-century cottage in Gloucestershire, Tally, became the soul of this journey—a place where life flows gently in harmony with nature’s rhythm, inspiring me to turn my dream into something tangible.

With a background in art history and archaeology, and a childhood spent surrounded by antiques and my mother’s quest for hidden treasures, I have always been captivated by beauty and design. My professional career led me through museums, auction houses, and I had the privilege to live in the enchanting city of Venice, which left an indelible mark on my aesthetic sensibility. After years of working in bustling London, I longed for a quieter, more grounded way of life. Tally Cottage offered the perfect retreat, giving me the peace and clarity to bring Benedetta at Tally to life.

Here, my dream takes shape. Every piece in the shop reflects my passion for creating spaces that are soothing, protective, and full of warmth. I delight to craft interiors that embrace you with a sense of calm and comfort, where every detail contributes to a feeling of home. I am drawn to natural materials for their ability to bring texture, character, and warmth to a space, and I favour designs with a simple, timeless aesthetic—pieces that will remain cherished as your style evolves.

I hope these treasures bring you as much joy as they bring me and that they fill your home with beauty, comfort, and a touch of magic for years to come!
